Martin 1833 D35 Acoustic Guitar Review

THE one and only Martin D-35!!!!!

Over it’s long history, CF Martin company has, without question, introduced the world to some of the best acoustic instruments ever built and played – one of those instruments is THE Martin D-35 guitar. I’ve owned and played at least 15 different Martin models over the last 50 years and IMO from it’s signature white bound neck and 3 piece back nothing else (except for the discontinued 1 Series D3R) on the Martin roster sounds like a Martin D-35. It has a full, deep, vibrant lower end; a beautifully balanced mid range; and a top end that is distinctly Martin. The Martin D35 has only been around for over a half century (introduced in ’65 so Doc Watson was obviously playing a different Martin model when another reviewer saw and heard him back in ’59) but it’s always been a unique instrument with a lot history built in over a relatively short period of time. And with a few modern updates incorporated by Martin in recent years it’s still a guitar well worth checking out. Even if you don’t like it for some reason, at least you can say you picked up and played a Martin D-35! Haven’t bought a guitar from online acoustic guitar builder, but when I do it’s going to be another Martin D35.
